 The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, yesterday, announced that it would begin a two-week warning strike beginning from December 2, 2024, over the inability of the government to resolve its eleven item demands.

Cardinal among the demands is the appointment of a Rector in Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Imo State without following the due process and in violation of Federal Polytechnics Act.

President of ASUP, Kpanja Shamnah, disclosed this while briefing Media at the end of its 112 National Executive Council, NEC, meeting in Abuja.


Recall that ASUP had issued a 15-day ultimatum to the Federal Government and other relevant agencies to immediately review and reverse all decisions inconsistent with the provisions of the Polytechnics Act and other governance instruments in the sub-sector.


He said: “Our union’s National Executive Council, NEC, held its 112th session to review the current status of our engagements with proprietors of Public Polytechnics, Colleges of Technology and Monotechnics in the country.

“The defining resolutions of our Union’s 111th NEC was the issuance of a 15 day ultimatum to the government to address issues threatening the progress of the sector or face a withdrawal of services by our members nationwide.


The issues listed by our union include sustained reports of impunity and disrespect of clear provisions of the Federal Polytechnics Act, different edicts establishing state owned institutions, and other instruments of governance in the sector particularly as it affects appointment of Principal Officers in Federal and State-Owned Polytechnics as well as other items of governance in Polytechnics.

“The sordid display of the Governing Council of the Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, in the appointment process of a new Rector, and the appointment of a Rector in Federal Polytechnic, Wannune without following due process were cited as recent examples of these breaches.

“Non-review of the contentious and suspended document entitled Schemes of Service for Polytechnics, non-release of the NEEDS Assessment intervention funds for 2023.
